Marks Percentage Calculator
Add up marks across subjects and get the total, the percentage and the grade, with per-subject maximums where they differ.
Formula
Percentage = marks obtained ÷ maximum marks × 100

Tips
- Where subjects are out of different totals, give one maximum per subject in the same order. A 50-mark practical counted as though it were out of 100 will pull the percentage down by a lot.
- Passing overall is not the same as passing everything. Most boards require both, which is why the failed-subject count is shown separately.
- If your board drops the lowest subject or counts best-of-five, leave that subject out rather than trying to weight it here.
- Internal assessment usually carries its own maximum and its own pass mark. Enter it as another subject with its own maximum.
- Percentages are normally reported to two decimal places on a marksheet and not rounded up. A 59.97% is not a 60%, and eligibility cut-offs are applied literally.
Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate percentage of marks?
Add the marks you scored, add the maximums they were out of, divide the first by the second and multiply by a hundred. The only thing that catches people out is subjects with different maximums, which is why this takes a list rather than assuming everything is out of 100.
Can I pass overall but still fail?
Yes, and it is common. Most boards and universities require a pass in every subject in addition to the aggregate, so a strong average can sit on top of one subject below the line. That count is shown separately here for exactly that reason.
Does this give my official grade?
No. Grade bands vary between boards, and many schemes weight subjects, use relative grading against the cohort, or drop the weakest result. The band here is a common Indian one and is labelled as such.
What about best-of-five?
Enter only the five subjects that count. Boards that use best-of-five apply it to a specified set, and which subjects qualify is a rule the calculator cannot know.
